User Reviews
This boot is comfortable for someone working in their feet 12-15 hrs a day. True to size and they don’t smell.
I loved the las version of the Oboz Sawtooth and wore through at least 4 pair. I was excited to the new version, since no other shoe fits my feet as well. I was immediately disappointed that it took many, many miles to break them in (something the last version of the shoe did not require). Now that they are broken in and feel great, the toe cap is completely peeling away where the rubber is glued to the shoe. For the price, this is unacceptable. Sadly, I will not be buying another pair.
These are advertised as waterproof on the oboz web site.3 day hikes - no problem (but dry conditions)Go on week long canoe trek, first time i step in shallow water (and it was BELOW the cuff line) water came into both shoes.Since I didnt buy from oboz directly they wont do anything for meThe amazon/vendor i did buy from only states "return within 30 days if in new condition"I find the advertising of OBOZ to be fraudulent - but Im stuck with "waterproof" shoes that arent!
Oboz are usually a good product, but after wearing them for 4 days to work, a piece started to come loose on the side of the shoe. I returned them for a refund. The seller said that I had caused severe damage to the shoes and would not give a refund.I say do not buy from this seller.
